Description of problem:
If an NIS server is specified but unavailable,

Binding to the NIS domain:
and
Listening for an NIS domain server...
take too long. (Most time is lost in the second stage.)

This may be a problem with the initscripts; feel free to reassign.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create /etc/yp.conf with any entry (broadcast or a specific server)
2. Reboot without access to the NIS server (either no server in your
broadcast domain, or without a route to the specified server)
